Santa's Little Helper Tag...

Stamp Fairy is the Sponsor this go around and I chose this really fun to color image for my tag!

You can see the Design Team's take on this theme HERE along with the rules and deadline for the challenge.

TECHNIQUE

[Note:
specific information on supplies and sources

will be found below
under “Supplies”.]

The image was printed three times, colored with Copics, two were fussy cut, sculpted and layered with foam tape to create the 3-D image. A snowflake punch was used in the corners and the positives were then layered together with a small button and red waxed linen thread and then fixed to the lower corner for composition balance. The image panel was layered on the green Basic Grey DP [for contrast and to hide the Copic ink that shows thru the back] with a punched layer of icicles along the side [?? have you ever seen them grow straight out?]. Slots were punched in the top to add the Christmas ribbon, the red heart button was attached using the same waxed linen to tie it together. [The ribbon is has been a hoarded treasure for many Christmases - I won't waste it on a bow - only small links like I have used here.] The Sentiment was stamped & cut out - corners were rounded and it was tucked under the heart button & attached with foam tape. Gold foil was glued to the belt buckle and the bell on his cap and shoes for a touch of bling.

EMBELLISHMENTS: Sentiment tab
is made with a corner rounder punch as were the corners of the image panel and mat; a Martha punch was used for the icicles, snowflake punch is an unknown; ribbon and buttons from stash.

INKS: the image was printed on a Canon
PIXMA printer
& colored with Copics:

you color with abandon, create wildly and alwaysmake
what amuses you!

What a great gift tag Ginny ....I'm very amused by the 'Ginnymites' on the side edge ....crafting with abandon indeed and great fun. Oooh, your red ribbon is sumptuous, no wonder you carefully choose projects to use it on but it really is perfect for this adorable tag. Good luck in our challenge this week.
